Yes and this makes sense on the surface. Cat threads on one server should be merged with cats on another server, so that I get a whole cativerse subreddit equivalent.
But then what happens when you have ambiguous terms like Tomorrow? Or when one server changes the rules in protest (like r/pics right now)?
Don't want to hastily make decisions that could lead to awful user experiences.
If all people who like cat photos converge to one community on one instance about cat photos, it means that a server crash or one goofball mod can ruin everything. If all those cat photo lovers are subscribed to 10 different cat photo communities on 10 different instances... then they'll always be connected to share cat photos, will see all the content, and no one hardware pr human problem will crash the whole community of humans who just want to share cat photos.
We'll see all 10 communities as separate communities though. I'd love to have 10 separate communities and one browser site that treats those 10 communities like one singular cat community.
